AGENDA TITLE: Accept donation of a Kubota Utility Tractor Model Number B-7510HST from
Kubota Tractor Corporation and present a Certificate of Appreciation to Kubota
Tractor representatives ingratitude for their donation
MEETING DATE: June 1,2005
PREPARED BY: Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept the donation of a Kubota Utility Tractor
Model Number B-7510HST from Kubota Tractor Corporation and
present a Certificate of Appreciation to Kubota Tractor
representatives in gratitude for their donation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As Council is aware, Kubota Tractor celebrated the ribbon -cutting of
their new facility, which is located on Guild Avenue, on May 19,
2005. During the celebration, Division Manager Rex Young apprised
the audience that Kubota intended to donate a tractor to the City of Lodi. That donation has now
occurred with the delivery of the equipment to the Parks and Recreation Department on May 24, 2005.
Needless to say, this piece of equipment will be put to good use by a number of City departments
including the Parks and Recreation Department and the Public Works Department.
It would be appropriate for the Council to formally accept the donation as per budget policy "Council must
approve applications for grants or acceptance of donations containing restrictions that may have an
impact on the budget." The impact of accepting the tractor is the addition of equipment to the fleet and
future maintenance.
Additionally, it would be appropriate for the Council to present a Certificate of Appreciation to Kubota
representatives for their generous donation to the City of Lodi.
FISCAL IMPACT: Addition of the tractor will assist staff in accomplishing projects
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not Applicable

regulator allows smaller adjustments, which are often required
when attaching/detaching implements or when performing
precision jobs.

Our full -floating ISO -mounted flat deck gives you ample leg
room, for easier mounting and dismounting. Additionally, it
substantially reduces vibration and driver fatigue through the
use of rubber mounts. A full -rubber floor mat and rubber -
padded pedals are standard.
